New York, April 7. —Tlie cotton mar
ket advanced 2 (ijl\ points at the opening,
early cables being quite as good ns look
ed for, and the advices from the flooded
districts being still bad. Speculation,
however, failed to show up and local sell
ing carried the market back to yester
day’s closing before noon. For the rest
of the session the market was narrow
and featureless. Selling was checked by
increased reports of indifferent holders of
spot cotton and a good demand from ex
porters and American spinners. During
the early trading Liverpool parties bought
considerable. The close was steady at
2(<T4 points below last night’s figures.
E. B. CUTHBERT & CO.’S LETTER.
New York. April 7—(Special.)—Cottou
wass dull and easier to-day on disappoint
ing Liverpool cables and weekly govern
ment crop report showing the outlook for
the new crop more favorable than had
been expected. The market opened up
firm and advanced 3 to 4 points on the
flood reports from the Mississippi, but
was unable to hold the improvement,
owing to the continued absence of out
side support and liberal Southern selling
and local realizing. The l>ears were dis
inclined to force the issue, otherwise the
decline would have been much greater.
Futures in Liverpool market opened
firm and advanced 1% points, but closed
quiet and unchanged to % point advance.
Spot cotton here and at the South was
unchanged with light sales. The weath
er was generally favorable.
STOCKS. .
The stock market showed no new tea
tures of special impoi Lance to-day. The
trading was entirely of a local profes
sional character, and the fluctuations
were on the wlnole narrow, with the mar
ket showing no decided tendency in eith
er direction. A bob-tail pool was organ
ized to put up sugar, Jersey Central and
Delaware & Hudson to 1 per cent.
But aside from these changes, the fluc
tuations on the whole were confined to
narrow limits. It was a small, narrow,
professional traders* market, and their
operations were in the main devoted to
'efforts to scalp each other of the fluctua
tions.
Wheat developed continued extreme
weakness to-day, and the trade became
demoralized by the general selling. The
break has been plainly foreshadowed in
all our market letters, which have indi
cated the continued absence of cash or
export demand. The feature of heavy
selling to-day was the continued liquida
tion of the long interest in May con
tracts. The Chicago market opened
weak and % lower ihan Monday’s clos
ing, but after hesitating, made a running
break of 1 cent. At this range there was
heavy covering of shorts and buying by
Ikoldera puts, but this demand was soon
supplied and prices soon afterwards
made another break of 2 cents, with
May selling down to 05% cents, on gener
al heavy liquidation, execution of a top
order and large lines long wheat coming
on the market. Traders who bought
heavily around 67*4 for a rally were
forced to sell out, and their offerings led
to a panicky market. A number of large
concerns were caught heavily long of the
market and they also had to let go. The
market continued weak and demoralized
up to the close.

NBW YORK STOCK MARKET.
New York, April 7.—There were time*
to-day when the trading on the stock ex
ctange was absolutely stagnant'. Tfee
THJfi NJCWfS AND OMHJKttVKIf, APRIL 8 1897.
Irnnsneliions wore ulinosi wholly lacking
in intercut, the volume being small and
the fluctuations narrow. The total sales
for the day numlierrd only 11 few thou
sand shares over 100,(MMI and nearly half
of these were of sugift’. Sales of all the
granger stocks aggregated only about
10,(MM) shares and the coalers only about
as many more, of which 10,000 were of
New Jersey Central. Speculation in rail
road shares has practically come to a
standstill after the recent flurry due to
the Tran*-Missouri decision and the fear
of its effect. Those fears seem to have
abated in large part, but prices have not
recovered their former level and there is
no demand manifest to carry values up
ward. (Prices held fairly firm to-day,
however, in spite of the dullness. The a |>-
plieation for a rehearing of the Trans-
Missouri ease had n strengthening effect
though it was not taken very seriously
(nto account. The new government
fours rose % to 124% on light sales with
out eliciting any large offers.
Railway bonds participated in the semi
stagnation that was evident in other de
partments. The aggregate sales were on
ly $787,000. Changes were trivial and
firmness prevailed.
